Distinct neural components of visually guided grasping during planning and execution

The paper investigates brain networks involved in visually guided grasping during planning and execution using fMRI, revealing distinct neural encoding of grasp axis, size, and object mass in different brain regions.

Activity in perirhinal and entorhinal cortex predicts perceived visual similarities among category exemplars with highest precision

The paper shows that activity in perirhinal and entorhinal cortex best predicts perceived visual similarities between category exemplars compared to other ventral visual stream regions.

The role of animal faces in the animate-inanimate distinction in the ventral temporal cortex

This study investigates whether the animate-inanimate distinction in the VTC is driven by the presence of faces or other features like agency, finding that agency correlates with face presence.

MEG sensor patterns reflect perceptual but not categorical similarity of animate and inanimate objects

The paper shows that MEG sensor patterns reflect perceptual but not categorical similarity between animate and inanimate objects, contrasting with fMRI results.
